Name Changes in Coccinellidae. — Among the names 
proposed by E. Mulsant in his 1850 work on the family 
Coccinellidae several were preoccupied. Three of these, of 
interest to students of the neotropical fauna, seem not to 
have been corrected.

Type of genus — Pelina (Palla) hydropica Muls. 
The genus Pelina was set up by Mulsant for two species, 
Pelina lebasi n. sp. and P. hydropica n. sp. For the second 
of these he proposed a separate subgenus, under the name 
of Palla. Unfortunately, both of these names were pre- 
occupied. The writer has studied the anatomy of both 
species and does not believe that they should be separated
